You can send yourself also without an advocate but there chances of missing legality. You can get your notice drafted from an advocate and send either yourself or through advocate. Charges and fees depended person to person. Normally such case may be decided within 2 year but one not predict time limit.

Cheque bounce cases are very technical in nature, one should always sensitive about the time line. Charges for 138 notice is minimum 2100 rupees plus clerical charges. As far as whole case time period is concerned it may vary court to court and case to case.

Notice is a requirement for initiating a case for Cheque Bounce. You can send the notice within a month of the date when the cheque is dishonored by the bank through a lawyer.
If the notice is not replied/ payment is not done within 15 days, a case can be initiated.
Usually the cases are settled early but again at the same time it depends on the person who has to make payment. If the case commences ideally, it takes about six months.
Charges depend from lawyer to lawyer.
